Hospital Encounter
The cups filled with tea were placed on the table, emitting steam and the aroma of tea.
Someone knocked on the door politely, and when there was no response, he said "excuse me" and pushed the door open.
When Yuji Itadori saw the tea and the open book on the table, he leaned over to take a look out of curiosity. There was not a single word in the book that had been read for years.
The owner of the room was not there, but the black jade dog was squatting beside the table. Although he had lived there for a while, there were very few things in the room except for some simple necessities.
The black jade dog barked and walked towards the window. Yuji Itadori followed and lay on the window so that he could just see the person standing outside.
Zenin Hui was standing at the bottom of the building, with his back to the sun. He turned around when he heard the shout, and after seeing who it was, he nodded in response.
The man leaned against the window, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Then he sighed, smiled and shouted, "Zen Temple! Do you want to go out for a walk?"
After covering his ears, Zenin Hui looked up and replied, "No need to be so loud, I can hear you."
Although the course is over, the two of them still have a lot of tasks to do as sorcerers. This kind of behavior of taking a break from the busy schedule is very rare for Lao Mo Yu Zhang.
After simply packing up the things, the door of the room was closed. 005 looked back and asked: "Why don't you bring the script?"
The script is the only thing that does not belong to this world. In the past, except for accidental loss, it was almost always carried with me.
"No need." Shika-nin simply replied, "When will we leave this world?"
The tone of his voice was very calm, which surprised 005: "Don't you like it here?"
Shikaren didn't answer, but just looked at him sideways: "You always like to ask stupid questions."
When they arrived at the agreed location, Yuji Itadori was nowhere to be seen. After waiting for a while, Zenin Kei remembered that he still had a cell phone to contact him.
In the text message, Yuji mentioned a place and asked him to go there first. Zenin Kei couldn't figure it out, but he sighed and opened the map anyway.
That area was not close to the city center, but was a place with many people living there. There were many people walking on the busy streets, and after searching everywhere, the man with long black hair set his sights on the hospital in the distance.
This hospital is a very famous hospital in Tokyo and is also the most obvious landmark building nearby. The address given by Yuji Itadori is nearby.
The map did not clearly mark the route, and it was very difficult to find someone in this residential area. Zenin Hui was standing at the side door of the hospital, and just as he was about to make a phone call to ask for information, two young women came towards him.
They were holding hands, looking worried. Because the aisle was not wide, Zenin Kei had to lean slightly to the side.
"I don't know what will happen to Jin Meiji. She has no family and such an accident happened." The black-haired woman said worriedly, "But the money I can lend is not much. I hope I can get through this period."
"Yeah, Tsumeiki is so pitiful."
This familiar name made Zenin Hui slightly stunned. This was near the hospital, so it was easy to guess that something was wrong with Tsumeiki.
He had heard the name Tsumeiki from Megumi Fushiguro.
"Excuse me, are you talking about Miki Fushiguro?"
The two were a little surprised to be called suddenly, but after turning around, they felt relieved after seeing the appearance of the person who came.
"Yes, who are you?" someone asked.
"I am Tsumeki's family member, Fushiguro Megumi." Zenin Megumi said calmly, "I just came to Tokyo recently. May I ask if Tsumeki has encountered any accident?"
"Ah!" The man looked excited, but more relieved. "Yes, Fushiguro Tsumeki's leg was injured in a car accident. We are her colleagues, and no one is taking care of her, so we are worried."
"If it's Tsumeki's family, that would be great."
The person in front of me was wearing a white shirt and black pants, with long black hair tied behind his head, and looked very reliable.
"I see." Zenin Hui nodded, "Thank you for taking care of Tsumeiki."
After asking for Fushiguro Tsumeki's room number, Zenin Hui turned around and walked into the hospital. After making several phone calls and being hung up, Itadori Yuji sent a text message instead.
[Something unexpected happened, Hui can go out and play for a while. 】
The hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant, and the dark corridors made people feel cold.
Shika Shinobu didn't know why she was meddling in other people's business, but when she thought of the Fushiguro Tsumeki whom she had never met, what came to her mind was the softened expression on Fushiguro Megumi's face when he mentioned her.
Because of the different plots, he and Fushiguro Tsumeki do not know each other. But in another world, they are family.
Zenin Hui felt unfamiliar with the meaning of family. His last name was Zenin, and Maki and the others also had the same last name, but he felt that Zenin was not where he belonged.
"Looking for Fushiguro Tsumeki? She's in the last room at the corner. Are you her family member? Then please remember to remind her to pay the bill." The nurse said with a smile and patience.
"Thank you."
After expressing his gratitude, Chan Yuan Hui first paid the fee as reminded and then returned the same way.
After a knock on the door, a female voice came from inside saying "Come in".
The room was bright, and only one person was staying in the three beds. On the side closest to the window, a figure with long black hair and hospital gown turned around.
Fushiguro Tsumeki thought a colleague had left something behind, but she didn't expect it to be a stranger who came in: "Who are you?"
Zenin Kei did not answer. He pursed his lips, not knowing how to explain.
After a light chuckle, Fushiguro Tsumeki guessed with a smile: "Did you go to the wrong ward?"
"no."
After saying this, he felt his hands were empty. Looking at the fruit basket beside the bed, Zenin Kei realized belatedly that his visit was a little too sudden.
Tsumeki didn't know the person in front of her. He was neither her friend nor a distant relative. But the expression on his face made her feel interesting: "I'm Fushiguro Tsumeki, what about you?"
"Foshiguro Megumi." After saying this, Zenin Megumi sat down directly on the chair.
Fushiguro Tsumeki was a little surprised, but she didn't ask too many questions. After the person in front of her breathed a sigh of relief, she tried to find a topic to talk about.
Although the two have never met, they are both good people to get along with. 005 squatted beside the bed, taking advantage of the fact that Fushiguro Tsumeki couldn't see him, and made a mess in the room.
Finally, he saw the relaxed smile on Zenin Kei's face. At that moment, an idea that he had never had before came to his mind.
At 005's suggestion, Zenin Hui found a knife and started to peel the apples. His knife skills were fast and good, his hands were steady, and he peeled a lot of apples.
"I'm not in any serious condition. Thank you for your concern." Fushiguro Tsumeki took the apple and thanked her.
While the people in front of him were not paying attention, Zenin Hui threw an apple to the eager 005, and then replied: "It's okay, someone named Zenin Maki will come later, please don't refuse her help."
Fushiguro Tsumeki was stunned. Although they had gotten along well so far, she didn't think a stranger would suddenly offer a helping hand. "Why?"
Zenin Hui had already stood up and simply said, "Maybe... because we are family."
The door of the ward was closed again, and Zenin Hui breathed a sigh of relief as if some difficult task had been solved.
"Miki Fushiguro is a character not mentioned in the script, so it doesn't matter if you don't have any contact with her." 005 said, "Or... in fact, you still like this place from the bottom of your heart?"
Lu Ren just felt annoyed. This guy was always smart sometimes and extremely stupid sometimes.
〖Speak less, no one will think you are dumb.〗
"But to everyone except you, I am dumb."
〖……〗
Most people in the hospital were in a hurry, so naturally no one noticed the change in the black-haired man's expression. But before he turned the corner, a questioning voice came from behind: "Gojo-kun?"
Zenin Hui was stunned for a moment, and when he heard the footsteps approaching, he realized that someone was calling him.
That was the woman I had met once a few days ago. She was wearing a hospital gown and her face was even paler. When my eyes met, she smiled and said, "It's really you, Gojo-kun."
"Are you in the hospital because you feel unwell?" The Zen master's wife's expression became tense, and she only breathed a sigh of relief after the person in front of her shook his head.
"Madam, are you feeling unwell?" Zenin Hui replied politely.
The person in front of me smiled, as if all the previous pain had been swept away: "It's an old problem."
Naturally, Zenin Hui moved from one ward to another.
This ward is a very spacious single room. The window facing the sun allows sunlight to shine in clearly, and the transparent gauze flutters in the wind.
After helping the man sit down on the bed, Zenin Hui started peeling apples. Mrs. Zenin just looked at him with a smile on her face, and even praised him for peeling the apples well.
This made him feel a little embarrassed, and he cut the apple into pieces and put them on a plate.
Although it was summer, there was a wool basket next to the bed to relieve boredom. A gray scarf that was almost finished was placed on top.
As the two chatted, the scarf was slowly being finished. As the last stitch was put in, the topic of conversation between the two paused.
"Could you please help Gojo-kun try it? I'm always unsure when I knit for the first time." Mrs. Zenin spread out the scarf with a smile.
Zenin Hui nodded and was about to reach out to take it, but the person in front of him took the initiative to pull open his scarf. After thinking for a moment, he stretched his head over.
The long scarf was wrapped around her several times, and a dry and warm hand was stroking her cheeks. Her long hair was gently combed to one side. The hand stroked her long hair, one by one, and finally landed on her head.
The scarf has a layer of fine velvet on the surface, which is very soft against the skin. Wearing a scarf in this season is a bit inappropriate, but looking at the red eyes and smile on the face of the person in front of him, Zenin Hui said sincerely.
“It’s very soft and warm.”
Mrs. Zenin chuckled, waved her hands, and said, "Then give it to Gojo-kun."
"Um."
"My family has moved nearby. If you have time, Gojo-kun, you can come to my house and sit for a while." Mrs. Zenin said, folding her hands on the quilt.
She was a little nervous, and although she tried to act relaxed, she still felt worried.
"Thank you, Mrs. Zenin." Zenin Hui lowered her head slightly, avoiding the person in front of her. "I will be settling abroad soon, so I'm afraid I won't be able to visit you in the short term."
"Really...really? That's great." Mrs. Zen Temple breathed a sigh of relief. "I hope you can be happy."
"Please take care of yourself, ma'am."
The gray scarf was folded and placed in a paper bag, and two big red apples were specially stuffed in. Zenin Kei helped the person sit down on the bed again, lowered his head and bent his waist as he spoke.
"No need to send me off, ma'am. Please take care of yourself."
Her hand fell on the doorknob, and Zenin Kei turned around. The pair of eyes was staring at her, with a gentle smile on her face.
They will never see each other again.
The door was closed, and looking at the two people on the left and right who were like door gods, Zenin Kei fell silent.
The two of them were standing at a distance from each other, the white-haired boy grinned and frowned, looking very disgusted. On the other side, the tall man carrying the bag ignored the boy's provocation.
